Description
This application is a §371 National Stage Application of PCT International Application No. PCT/EP2014/068118 filed Aug. 27, 2014 claiming priority of EP Application No. 13183523.3, filed Sep. 9, 2013.
The present invention relates to percussive extension drilling and, in particular, to a drill string component for use in such drilling.
Extension drilling typically involves the use of a drill bit mounted at the end of a drill string which is both rotated and subjected to longitudinal impacts. The upper end of the drill string is connected to an above-ground drilling machine which performs the rotation and imparts the impact. Such a percussive drilling technique is commonly referred to as bench drilling. The present invention can also be used in, for example, long-hole drilling, drifting and tunneling.
A general description of percussive drill strings comprising rods are addressed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,164,392 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,681,875. These are examples of the most used type of drill string in percussive drilling. However, these rods tend to reduce the drilling speed and drilling accuracy, as well as increase the risk of the bit becoming stuck in the ground. Prior rods are prone to overheating and subsequent failure of the thread joints.
A drill string comprising tubes is addressed in European Patent Number 126740. Tubes in comparison to rods are tubular in shape, i.e. the wall thickness is small as compared to the diameter of the tube. With the known solution the flushing properties improve and the elastic section modulus is increased, compared to conventional drill rods, leading to improved drilling accuracy. However, the increased elastic section modulus of the tubes leads to higher stresses in the joints. This has the effect that the joints are difficult to break. The larger outer diameter of the tube, compared to conventional drill rods, decreases the gap between the drill string and the wall of the hole being drilled, leading to problems with transportation of cuttings from the hole.
The present invention combines the advantages of rods and tubes into a new component.
One object of the present invention is to provide a threaded drill rod with improved stiffness.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a threaded drill rod with improved flushing.
According to an aspect, there is provided an elongate drill component for percussive drilling comprising a female threaded end having an outer diameter Dot, a male threaded end, a central section between said ends having an outer diameter Doc, wherein the outer diameter of the female threaded end is larger than the outer diameter of the central section; and a through-going flushing channel comprising a central flushing channel having a diameter Dic and thread flushing channels having a diameter Dit, wherein the ratio of an elastic section modulus of a threaded joint measured when the female threaded end is connected to the male threaded end of an identical component to an elastic section modulus of the central section, St/Sc, is more than 1.5 and wherein a ratio of the diameter of the central flushing channel to the outer diameter of the central section, Dic/Doc is between 0.45 and 0.95.
The features and advantages of the present invention are well understood by reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings in which like numerals indicate similar elements and in which:
Next to the end 21 the elongate component 20 has a slim section 25 with small outer diameter compared to the rest of the elongate component. Next to the end 22 the elongate component 20 has a slim section 26 with small outer diameter compared to the rest of the elongate component. Between the slim section 25 at the end 21 and the slim section 26 at the end 22 there is a central section 27. The outer diameter of the central section is larger than the outer diameter of the end 22 and smaller than the outer diameter of the end 21. The central section 27 of the elongate component 20 has an outer diameter Doc. The end 21 has an outer diameter Dot.
There is a through-going flushing channel in the centre of the elongate component 20. Flushing media like water and/or air are flushed in this channel in order to cool the elongate component and its joints and in order to remove cuttings from the drilled hole. The through-going flushing channel is divided into several parts, a central flushing channel 28 with a diameter Dic and thread flushing channels 29, at both the end 21 and the end 22, with a diameter Dit. Between the central flushing channel 28 and both thread flushing channels 29 there are steps 30 such that Dit is smaller than Dic. In order to have a smooth flow of the flushing medium the steps 30 are preferably smooth with no sharp edges.
The end 22, the male thread 24, the slim section 26 and a part of the central section 27 is preferably manufactured from a single piece of material into a male component 32. A ratio of the length of the male component 32 to the outer diameter, Doc, of the central section 27 is between 3 and 5. The end 21, the female thread 23, the slim section 25 and a part of the central section 27 is preferably manufactured from a single piece of material into a female component 33. A ratio of the length of the female component 33 to the outer diameter, Doc, of the central section 27 is between 3 and 5. The middle part of the central section 27 is preferably manufactured from a single piece of material. The male component 32 and the female component 33 may be manufactured from a different type of material than the middle part of the central section 27. The middle part of the central section 27 is preferably friction welded to the male component 32 and the female component 33.
The central flushing channel 128, with diameter Dic has a cross-sectional area Ac. An exit area Ae for the cuttings to be flushed away from the hole 4, is formed between the central section 27 and the wall 5 of the hole 4. A ratio of the area Ac of the central flushing channel 128 to the exit area Ae is preferably between 0.04 and 0.26. This relationship between Ac and Ae ensures that there is sufficient space between the elongate component 120 and the wall 5 of the hole 4 for removal of cuttings from the hole 4.
What characterizes the invention is the elastic section modulus of the thread joint 31 in relation to the elastic section modulus of the central section 27 in combination with the ratio between the diameter of the central flushing channel 28, 128 and the outer diameter of the central section 27. The elastic section modulus is a property that correlates to the bending resistance of a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongate component 20.
The elastic section modulus, St, of the thread joint 31 is calculated using the following formula:
The elastic section modulus, Sc, of the central section 27 is calculated using the following formula:
The ratio between the elastic section modulus's, St/Sc, is for the elongate component more than 1.5, preferably between 1.8 and 5.5 and more preferably between 2.0 and 3.5. This ratio is for known drill rods between 1.8 and 3.2 and for known drill tubes between 1.0 and 1.4.
The ratio between the diameter of the central flushing channel 28,128 and the outer diameter of the central section 27, Dic/Doc, is for the elongate component between 0.45 and 0.95, preferably between 0.48 and 0.75 and more preferably between 0.5 and 0.65. This ratio is for known drill rods between 0.25 and 0.42 and for known drill tubes between 0.55 and 0.75.
Utilizing this specific combination of St/Sc and Dic/Doc gives certain advantages to the drill string. The large diameter of the central flushing channel 28,128, in relation to the outer diameter of the central section 27, gives good flushing properties which improves the removal of cuttings and cools the threads in the elongate component 20. Cooling of the threads increases the lifetime of the threads and the drill rate can be increased. The space between the wall 5 of the hole 4 and the outer diameter of the central section 27 is large enough to enable sufficient flushing of the cuttings from the drilled hole 4. The high elastic section modulus of the thread joints, in relation to the elastic section modulus of the central section 27, implies that the drill string may bend without causing too high bending stresses in the thread joints. This improves the lifetime of the thread joints and makes it easier to break the threads between the elongate components.
A surface drill rig was used to compare conventional so called T51 drill rods with an embodiment of the invention. Both the conventional T51 rods and the embodiment of the invention were manufactured from case hardened steel. The same type of threads and the same type of heat treatment were used for the T51 rods and the embodiment of the invention. The pressure drop along the length of the drill string was measured as a measure of the flushing efficiency. The following results were obtained.

Both the conventional T45 rods and the embodiment of the invention were manufactured from case hardened steel. The same type of threads and the same type of heat treatment were used for the T45 rods and the embodiment of the invention. The following results were obtained.

It is evident that the lifetime of the invention is at least 100% longer than for the conventional rod.
The present invention is not limited to the above described embodiments. Different alternatives, modifications and equivalents might be used. The above mentioned embodiments should therefore, not be considered limiting to the scope of the invention, which is defined by the patent claims.
